(Ashe) I dont think i can answer your question properly, but i can offer some posts that might help… First off stat reduction from pve to pvp > [@\[List\] PvP Stat Reductions](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/list-pvp-stat-reductions/9237): > > I haven’t seen this posted elsewhere so I’ve decided to begin compiling a list of stat reductions for Battle Arena so players can know ahead of time what ratio their affixes will equate to when xfer’ed over to PvP mode. smile Please feel free to contribute and I’ll continue to edit this post with additions. Unfortunately I have a bad internet connection so it’s not always easy for me to view my equipment in PvP, so any input will speed things up significantly until we get a full list smile #… Then there’s the damage reduction from armour and all resist… tho imo armour is far less useful > [@PvP Damage Reduction / Prevention](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/pvp-damage-reduction-prevention/16447): > > I wanted to provide information for all players to understand PvP damage / prevention. First off I need to make sure everyone knows that Damage reduction / prevention is not additive, it is multiplicative (you multiply separate damage reduction sources instead of adding them together). This means you do not add together all your damage reduction sources to obtain your damage prevention. Damage Reduction Example: –Defiant - 25% (not accounting for missing HP) –Armor - will assume 2X obsidian … I refer myself back to these very often when planning a new build --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/arena-build-help-battle-mage/34844)._
